Jeff Grossman
Jeff & Jean as Captains have safely sailed more
than one hundred different yachts of various

passages and pride themselves on the
uneventful voyage. They will discuss various
scenarios of emergencies at sea, how making a
plan of action can prevent panic and save lives.
You will learn how to map out a training plan to
safely prepare you for sailing at night, open

Voyage planning & weather routing
– Presented by Meteorologist Lee Chesneau
Lee Chesneau's vision is to provide every
capable seagoing mariner with the knowledge,
tools and culture required to embody self-
reliance and independent decision-making in
weather forecasting, route planning and heavy
weather avoidance. The goal of this vision is to
be able to properly interpret, evaluate, and
strategize the public domain marine analyses
and forecast charts through education and
training. You won’t learn it all in an hour but you
will gain valuable insight and a thirst for more.

magazines and gives frequent talks at major boat
shows, clubs and for other organizations, she
loves to inform and inspire others to embrace
the cruising lifestyle. Liza will share her voyage
photos and experience and show you how to
comfortably cruise.
Questions/Answers and Discussion
Though questions will be fielded through out the
day, this is your opportunity to pick the brains of
the experts. The first part will be more formal
followed by a social hour that will provide more
personal dialog.
